The superior court shall bring any complaints regarding the sheriff’s performance under this article and any written policies adopted pursuant hereto to the attention of the sheriff, and shall cooperate with the sheriff to resolve them. The court shall also actively participate and cooperate in the preparation and presentation of all budget requests for the court security services unit. The budget for the unit shall be prescribed from year to year by the board of supervisors through adoption of the annual budget. During any budget year, the staffing for the unit may be adjusted within budgeted resources and personnel classifications only with the approval of the court under policies adopted pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d) of Section 26638.8. The sheriff shall not transfer or otherwise divert from the court security services unit personnel or other resources allocated to that unit by the annual final budget approved by the board of supervisors, except on a temporary basis in the event of a sudden and unforeseen emergency requiring the immediate commitment of significant resources in relation to other functions performed by the sheriff. That organization plan for the court security services unit and the level of staffing and hours of staffing services prescribed therein set forth in that document entitled “Sacramento County Court Security Services Unit, Organization Plan,” dated June 1, 1985, on file with the clerk of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sacramento, shall, at minimum, be maintained during the 1985–86 fiscal year from and after the effective date of the abolition and consolidation authorized by this article; and the levels of staffing and hours of staffing services shall be subject to modification, increase, or decrease by the board of supervisors in future fiscal years.
